I am big I am small I am no body at all For I am home in body Were you there With the world? When the particles exploded Did you see the atoms collide?

Pop 03:04
lyrics

Tiny balloon floating away Past the ozone into outer space When did you first notice how high up You had drifted from your safety rock? Now you are flying high through the void No sensible direction, fear has deployed And you're / not sure In which direction you'll find a new rock True / Whatchya gonna do To figure this all out before you pop? Glitter smoke ring dancing round the sphere Time means nothing when you're everywhere No avoiding what you do not know I want to know, I want to know Now I am flying high through the void No sensible direction, fear has deployed And I’m / so high Every direction I find a new trap Try / Whatchya gonna die? If I don't figure this out, I will pop Now I am flying high through the void No sensible direction, fear has deployed

Oh no I won’t feel sorry for myself I hang my misery back up on the washroom shelf I must keep moving on Because you cannot carry sympathy with you son I say you cannot carry sympathy with you son Oh no I won’t feel sorry for myself I hang my misery back up on the washroom shelf I must keep moving on Because you cannot carry sympathy with you son I say you cannot carry sympathy with you son I say you cannot carry sympathy with you son

One Eye Open 04:11
lyrics

She’s gotta magazine Draped over her shoulder Sittin’ in the corner  Cigarette and lipstick tainted smile He’s gotta scarlet cross Tucked under his armor Lean in whisper to her Do you know my savior, Jesus Christ I wanna live in the sky But I don’t wanna die I’m always sleeping with  One Eye Open I got an offer to make It’s a bargain to take Room aboard for keeping One Eye Open   There at the dusty bar Leaned a hooded man  With a pistol in his hand Give me all your money or your life They didn’t the girl on the stage She was one hell of a woman with bazooka legs Leather corset singing cabaret I wanna live in the sky But I don’t wanna die I’m always sleeping with  One Eye Open I got an offer to make It’s a bargain to take Room aboard for keeping One Eye Open     Na na na na na na na na One eye Open Wooed by her charming song The big legged woman revealed a smirk and a gun Listen everyone to what I say You’ve got a debt to pay  You can settle with you lives Or take the offer I make  Join my crew and give me the next five I wanna live in the sky But I don’t wanna die I’m always sleeping with  One Eye Open I got an offer to make It’s a bargain to take Room aboard for keeping One Eye Open   I’ve got something to say to you Stay or play but you gotta choose We’ll all make one hell of a crew Ride or die

Euphorification 04:34

Euphorification Light me up some salvation Glamorous Invitation To blood and guts and Sex and drugs, and lust Uh huh Holy Roller Nation Lean into the sensation Instant gratification Guns and debts Suade and cigarettes Sequins and lipstick Red velvet victims Uh Huh You may mistake me for a strange woman And you’d be right But don’t take me for no damn fool You can’t manipulate me Though you may try And you know I could Fuck you over too Psycho - annihilation Curated Information Innocent stimulation Cuz she’s bound to please him Red velvet victim Uh Huh Literal implications Zombie Edification Keep the good woman vacant So we’ll bend her over With the good book own her She’s on her knees Praying God could you please set me free You may forsake the whore of Babylon Cuz your’e afraid If what the things you say could be true The woman dripping with blood and your seed The dead prostitute Oh brother, the woman is you

So what? She’s dead And you’ve got all of the answers How convenient I know you know You wanna drive her to the doctor Sell her down the dark hole How much would it cost for you to bury me, for real? How much should I pay to take away the pain I feel? Let go, they say You know everyone will be Better off this way Sit still, don’t fuss Just take another one And you’ll be fined Another and another How much would it cost for you to bury me, for real? How much should I pay to take away the pain I feel?

Virus 03:27
lyrics
buy track
You think about touching yourself when you talk As the words come out you please yourself Virus, don’t breathe in this air Virus, a molecular strain Virus, cellular decay Virus, now coursing through your veins Seeds of doubt Seeds of fear Seeds of lies Upon seas of tears Seeds of guilt Seeds of dread Seeds that will slowly Summon the dead Virus, don’t breathe in this air Virus, a molecular strain Virus, cellular decay Virus, now coursing through your veins Seeds of doubt Seeds of fear Seeds of lies Upon seas of tears Seeds of guilt Seeds of dread Seeds that will slowly Summon the dead There is a sacred cemetery Spaces saved for the sanguine saints A solitary sanctuary Set aside for slanderers to segregate Feast upon the empty shells Statuesque in sinister cells Pose me in an upright position Recite to me again your sadistic vision So you’re a man of the cloth? So you’re a man of the cloth? So you’re a messenger from God? So you don’t spare the rod So you’re a man of the cloth? So you’re a man of the cloth? So you’re a messenger from God? So you’re nothing but a fraud Virus, don’t breathe in this air Virus, a molecular strain Virus, cellular decay Virus, now coursing through your veins Virus, don’t breathe in this air Virus, a molecular strain Virus, cellular decay Virus, now coursing through your veins

Siege 04:31

I don’t want to lose my mind with grief I don’t want to wake up from this sleep I don’t want to find out I’ve been dreaming All this time I don’t want to die from this disease Just another victim of the siege Just another human with a motive To Believe There’s a moment when the sun goes down And all the world falls still in silence Come now children here and gather round Rise and stand is sheer defiance I don’t want to lose my mind with grief I don’t want to wake up from this sleep I don’t want to find out I’ve been dreaming All this time I don’t want to die from this disease Just another victim of the siege Just another human with a motive To Believe Watch the fire spread across the land As we sell our souls to science See the demons in their masquerade Play their song and dance of violence I don’t want to lose my mind with grief I don’t want to wake up from this sleep I don’t want to find out I’ve been dreaming All this time I don’t want to die from this disease Just another victim of the siege Just another human with a motive To Believe I don’t want to lose my mind I don’t want to lose my mind with grief I don’t want to wake up from this sleep I don’t want to find out I’ve been dreaming All this time I don’t want to die from this disease Just another victim of the siege Just another human with a motive To Believe

Moonlight 05:23

Moonlight Walkin’ in the cold indigo night And I know exactly what you’d be thinking When you find out ‘bout these secrets I’ve been quietly keeping All of the secrets I’ve been quietly keeping I’m always sure to keep the bottle full In case one these lonely nights I might finally lose control I’ve pulled the straw and I’ve pulled the fool With all of these secrets I’ve been quietly keeping All of these secrets I’ve been quietly keeping I’m only six feet away from where I’m not I’m only two tears away from too far gone And I’m tired of going on like nothing’s wrong I’m tired of going on like nothing’s wrong His velvet lips so soft and warm He’s the only lover I’ll ever let myself know Now the Earth and sky can take me home With all of my secrets I’ve been quietly keeping With all of my secrets I’ve been quietly keeping All of these secrets I’ve been quietly keeping All of these secrets I’ve been quietly keeping Moonlight Moonlight Moonlight Moonlight
